Overview

-                                        RACE:
+ Orcs are the best in slot choice for this build, due to their increased survivability and damage. The extra movement speed and reduced sprint costs are also nice to have.



 Wood Elves are the better choice if you struggle a lot with sustain, or want the extra damage penetration. They also have some nice quality of life features, such as; reduced fall damage and faster movement speed.



All other races are fully viable too.
-                                        MUNDUS:
+The Lover increases your damage penetration. This is generally the best choice, but not by a particularly significant margin on the listed races.



The Thief increases your critical chance. This can be a good choice if you play in groups. If not, the only reason to choose it is if you play as a Khajiit.
-                                        ATTRIBUTE:

Skills

Alternative Skills

	Burning Embers (Ardent Flame / Searing Strike) - This is a good alternative for Venomous Claw if you are struggling with survivability or stamina sustain. If you're not using the Ring of the Pale Order, this skill is practically essential.
	Consuming Trap (Soul Magic / Soul Trap) - This is great skill to have if you're struggling with sustain, especially in arenas. It does a good amount of damage, and it also recovers a portion of your health, magicka and stamina, when you kill the target.
